He would further contend that in view of the orders passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in a regular interval, the order of suspension is subject to periodic review and such review has not taken place in the case of the petitioner.
2. At his juncture, learned Special Government Pleader would submit that if considerable time is granted by this Court, the respondents would review the suspension of the petitioner on its own merits and in accordance with law.
3. In such view of the above submissions made by learned Special Government Pleader, and also taking into consideration the long pendency of this writ petition since 2022, instead of going into the merits of the case, this Court directs the respondents to review the suspension order by considering the petitioner’s representations dated 05.05.2022 and 10.05.2022, according to its own merits and in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
4. With the above directions, this Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. 14-10-2026 KAS
